The Maeklong Railway Market

Welcome to the Mae Klong railway market in small town Thailand. The town of Mae Klong is about 72 kilometers, or a casual 1 drive, south west of Bangkok.
Eight times a day, the shopkeepers have to interrupt their business, quickly pull down the roofs of their shops, drag their goods inside, then stand against their shop fronts breathing in — to let a train go through. That’s right, a train. A big, steel, commuter train traveling quite fast, straight through the middle of the mall.
